Intro/ Vs- [E] [F#m] [A] [B]
[E]You and I in a l[F#m]ittle toy shop,
buy a [A]bag of balloons with the m[B]oney we’ve got
[E]Set them free at the b[F#m]reak of dawn,
till o[A]ne by one th[B]ey were gone

Back at base, faxing the software,
flash the message something’s out there
Floating in the summer sky,
99 red balloons go by

Bass intro

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bell, its red alert there’s something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life, opens up one’s eager eyes
Focusing in on the sky, 99 red balloons go by…

99 decisions free, 99 may misters me
To worry worry super surrey, call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we’ve waited for, this is it boys this war
The president is on the line, cause 99 red balloons go by

99 lights up the air, with super high tech jet fighters
Everyone’s a superhero, everyone’s with captain Kirk
With orders to identify, to clarify and classify
There’s a tremble in the summer’s sky, 99 red balloons go by

99 red balloons go by…

99 dreams I have heard, and everyone a red balloon
It’s all over and I’m standing pretty, in this dusted worldless city
If I can find a souvenir, just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon, I’ll think of you and let it go ~fade out~
